Fantastic TV with Google TV
I recently purchased a 43 inch TCL C655 QLED Google TV, and after spending some time with it, I must say it delivers an excellent experience . It has impressive picture quality, the Google TV menus ran very smoothly, and overall it has performed very well. Coming from a much older LED 37 inch LG, the sound quality is much improved over my old TV and the thin bezel and profile fits this bigger screen size into the same space as my old TV. I own other TCL TVs and find them excellent value for money. For me, this is a TV for a bedroom and it works really well in the space. However, if you were looking at a bigger TV in a lounge or family room, I would recommend getting a soundbar to compliment the TV.

Almost too big
I wanted a relatively small Smart TV for my bedroom. The 43inch was just right and it was on sale! Plug and Play so very easy to install:)

Exactly What I Wanted
I like Google TVs. This one was for our bedroom and it was the little brother of the one in our lounge.

It works, good definition
This TV has given us a second set in the house. It's easy to program and operate, much the same as others. It connected to the wifi with relative ease and quick to set up all the necessary accounts. The viewing definition is clear and crisp and so far the streaming has been without issue.

Great TV but shop elsewhere
Great tv but bought for a specific reason. Good Guys info on the produce was incorrect on their website. Bought a tv mount based on it that wouldn’t fit. Their solution wo UI d have ed had me stick back to Chatswood for a refund. All in all I reckon I’d have been close to $300 out of pocket to correct their mistake. Solved problem must and will never shop at GoodGuys again.

Things to consider
Compared with premium TVs, this 43-inch model is less immersive for movie nights and may not deliver the same brightness, motion refinement or high-end gaming responsiveness.
Small room suitability
Excellent - the 43-inch size is well matched to bedrooms, apartments and smaller lounge areas.
Student/bedroom fit
Very strong - easy to place, simple to use and well suited to streaming-focused bedroom setups.
Smart tv feature score
9/10 - Google TV gives broad app access, easy content discovery and convenient voice control.
Gaming suitability
7/10 - a good option for casual console gaming, but not as advanced as premium gaming-focused TVs.
Portability rating
8/10 - easier to move and place than larger TVs, making it practical for renters, students and room-to-room use.
Key benefits
- Qled colour: Delivers richer, more vibrant colour than basic entry-level LED TVs, helping movies, sport and animation look more lively.
- Google tv: Brings together popular streaming apps and personalised recommendations in one easy-to-use smart interface.
- Built-in voice control: Lets you search shows, open apps and control basic TV functions more conveniently with voice commands.
- 43-inch screen size: Fits comfortably in smaller rooms where a larger TV could feel oversized or dominate the space.
- Everyday gaming support: Suitable for console and casual gaming with a modern smart TV feature set that feels responsive for most non-competitive players.
- Streaming-ready platform: Well suited to households that rely on streaming instead of external media boxes or broadcast-only viewing.
- Slim, modern design: Looks neat on a TV unit or wall in bedrooms, apartments and compact living spaces.
- Good value positioning: Offers a more premium-feeling picture style and smart platform than many basic small-screen TVs without moving into premium pricing.
Q: Is the TCL 43C655 a good TV for gaming and sport?
A: Yes, for casual gaming and everyday sport it is a solid fit, because the panel runs at 50Hz to 60Hz with 4K resolution. It is not a high refresh 120Hz model, so fast action looks less smooth than on TVs built specifically for competitive gaming.
Q: How bright is the TCL 43C655, and is it suitable for a bright room?
A: The 43C655 is rated at 430 cd/m², which is suitable for general daytime viewing in most rooms. It will cope better in controlled lighting than in strong direct sun, where reflections and reduced perceived contrast can still be noticeable.
Q: What does the VA panel on the TCL 43C655 mean in everyday use?
A: A VA panel is mainly about stronger contrast, and this model is rated at 5000:1, so dark scenes can look deeper than on many IPS TVs. The trade-off is that picture quality is usually best when seated more directly in front rather than far off to the side.
Q: Will the TCL 43C655 handle streaming apps smoothly on Google TV?
A: Yes, its quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage are enough for common streaming apps and everyday Google TV use. App loading and multitasking can still feel less quick than on more premium TVs with faster hardware.
Q: What size space should I allow for the TCL 43C655?
A: The TV itself measures about 956mm wide, 559mm high and 72mm deep, with a 42.5 inch screen diagonal. Allow extra room around those dimensions for ventilation and cabling, and note the stand footprint can add more depth than the panel alone.
